Last night, our two little nieces and nephews came over to “play.” Adding four kids three and under to an already active household certainly made for a lively evening. Thankfully my husband was home as well as our kids. All of us kept pretty busy with two toddlers, a brand new walker who is into everything […]

Christmas Lyric Lines Volume 3: Song Seven for my Savior: “Christmas Changes Everything”
So much emphasis is placed on this one day of the year that sometimes that can be a lot of pressure. Especially for moms. Did we pick out the right gifts? Did we buy enough? Are the decorations spectacular enough? Did we remember to bake the right cookies or make elaborate enough meals? How easy losing […]

Most of my album choice are somewhat methodical. The Relient K “Let It Snow, Let It Reindeer” was an impulse purchase several years ago. The album is as fun as it sounds. Yet while several of the songs make me smile, this one made me cry. The main time that I get to listen to […]

Our official family Christmas celebrations are about to begin. Every year we attend a Christmas Eve service with my family, then have soup and open a few presents. We have chosen to get together two different times to extend the celebrations, and I LOVE that. Because of our extended time, that means that Christmas Eve […]

Sometimes a song just gets stuck in your head. This song is mine from today. I woke up with the song resonating in my heart. In trying to discover the name of the tune, I found a great Christmas album. Josh Wilson’s album “Noel” was just added to our I-Tunes. What can I say? Christmas […]

Remember I told you that I am a bit of a Christmas music junkie? I almost made it through this December without buying a new album. But this morning I am caving in and buying Sidewalk Prophets’ “Merry Christmas to You” album. (And at $6.99 for the MP3 on Amazon right now, I think it […]

Today the song is definitely honor of my children. This is one of my favorite songs to listen to this time of year. Many years ago the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir came out with a “Happy birthday, Jesus” song. That one is sweet and all, but I happen to like the below version even better. This […]

Next week I will finish my series on “Lyric Lines for the Savior.” Today’s post could almost count since the song is about Jesus coming. But since there really are not any words, I decided this one should be more for fun. My husband discovered “The Piano Guys” at a seminar he went to in […]

Chris Tomlin’s Glory to God in the Highest is one of the most worshipful Christmas albums! All of the songs point to the Savior. But the one that is my favorite actually features another lead vocalist – Audrey Aussad. Since we are getting a few flurries here today and tomorrow, this song, “Winter Snow” seems […]

Just over a year ago, we said our earthly good byes to my Grandmother. She had just turned 100 several months before, so she was definitely ready to go to heaven! Now that I have said farewell to all four of my grandparents, Steven Curtis Chapman’s “Home for Christmas” means even more. I could not […]
